"My reply is on use of your pond for fire suppression. I suggest that you install a dry sump so that in the event of a serious fire water tank trucks could fill from your pond. We have two dry sumps installed in our ponds. Several years ago we had a fire approaching and water was used from our ponds to get the fire under control. Cost of materials is minimal and benefit can be large.
I sure would like to take a few of those brookies off your hands. All of our brookies are naturally reproducing, never stocked, and could use some genetic diversity."
Thank you Old Man Bo on the information on fire suppression. We are looking into several things. I will discuss it with my family. We are also looking into using our pond for watering our orchard and garden, so there are some pumps which can be used for fire suppression.
Our plan, hopefully this fall is to clean off the input of the pond and provide the brookies with a better spawning area. We were told they don't like muck, they like clean, running water. Our creek is clean and clear, but at the moment goes through short grassy area before actually forming the pond.
Thank you again!
